2015 Player Review - # 39 Neville Jetta

Jetta did not have as good a year as his break out season in 2014 and he missed a few games through niggling injuries but still produced some excellent performances as a small defender with good ball skills

    Still our best small defender by some margin. Recruiting Bugg would be important to help give Nev some support.

    I love the way Nev plays. Not the most talented player going around, but his effort and will to succeed are undeniable. He had a solid season in 2015, dulled a bit by head knocks and concussion injuries. He seems vulnerable in this area, which is a bit of a worry going forward.

    Pretty ordinary year for the most part I thought. Injuries / concessions early in the season didn't help, but he was just a shadow of his 2014 self. I'd like to see him take the game on a bit more rather than just going for the easy, short kick all the time.

    What a gutsy guy.

    Not the most talented, but when Roos showed him faith and challenged him in 2014 he totally turned his career around. A fine example that sadly too few bother to emulate.

    Fell away a little 2015 but still never gave in.

    I am not sure how to avoid the concussions as he will not shirk: just hope he can fully recover and return to his best n 2016 and beyond.

    Nev is one player that never lets us down. He doesn't always win each battle but he always tries and I admire him for his effort and consistency.

    Reminds me of Whelan, you know what you are going to get and that is someone giving their all every week.

    Would graduate to legend if he could do a 'hird' on Heppell !! :)

    He beats the best small forward consistently - that is just gold.

    And the worst thing I have seen in 2015 for this club is when Nev got hit on the head (again) and we, and the media, gave it to him for 'staying down while the game was still going on'...

    What an effing disgrace...

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
